Here's Betsy of Fluffy Windover's Diary with this week's Toddler Thursday:

This past weekend, we decided to bite the bullet and begin potty training boot-camp. We told Edwin (who will be 3 in September) that we didn’t have any more diapers, and so he’d have to wear underwear and use the potty all the time. He was a little upset at first, but I had put all his diapers away when he wasn’t looking, so he seemed to accept the fact that diapers just weren’t available. We had a couple of accidents, but for the most part he really did a great job making it to the potty. Basically, if he was naked or wearing just underwear he always made it to the potty. If he had shorts on, he seemed to forget that he wasn’t wearing a diaper.

He went off to daycare yesterday after four days at home, and he did... not so great. Let’s just say I have a lot of laundry to do. He’s still not great at remembering to go to the potty when he’s wearing pants or shorts. I hope he does better today. I’m feeling a little guilty, like maybe he’s not quite ready and I shouldn’t be pushing this. But frankly, I’m tired of hoisting this 26-lb kid up on a changing table to clean up his man-sized messes. And our pediatrician said that the longer he’s been potty trained before the baby comes, the less likely he is to regress. Also, when it’s this hot it’s so easy to let him run around in his underwear.

I think we’ve reached the point of no return. There may be a little more laundry to do, but we’re just going to push through. Wish me luck!
